Terminal 2 development
The main project works commenced in 2012. In an initial main phase the south end of the building was expanded to include a new axis, and the south check-in area was restructured and renewed. The building envelope, building services and fire prevention systems were also completely renewed. In the subsequent second construction phase the north check-in area and the associated building envelope were replaced as of March 2015. The temporary facilities provided during this period ensured that check-in operations proceeded as smoothly as possible. The final third construction phase concentrated on the installation of the new prayer room, completion of the back office areas, the baggage claim hall (local unloading point) and refurbishment of the west facade. The comprehensive upgrade means that Terminal 2 is now ready for another thirty years of operation at Zurich Airport.
